<H1>Welcome to the Ethernet Page</H1> 

<b>This web site provides an extensive collection of information about
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) local area network technology, including the
original 10-Mbps system, the 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet system, and
Gigabit Ethernet.

<H3> Quick Reference Guides</H3>

The entire set of <B> Quick Reference Guides</B> provides a complete
configuration manual for Ethernet, available for free on the Web!  The
Guides contain over 150 pages of concise technical information,
including more than 60 figures and tables.

<P>

The 14 Quick Reference Guides contain the configuration rules for each
Ethernet media type as well as the configuration rules for combining
media types.  This makes it possible for you to verify the
configuration of your Ethernet design to make sure that it will work
properly.  </b>
